Master the Forehand FLICK! #pickleball #pickleballtips

Summary

tanner.pickleball’s forehand flick in under 60 seconds. First, after a good dink, preemptively lean into the kitchen in anticipation of a pop-up instead of reaching in at the last second. Next, keep the paddle face down so you can get underneath the ball for spin. Lastly, snap through with the wrist: the faster you swing, the more spin the ball has, which is what keeps it in.

Key takeaways

• After a good dink, lean in early for a pop-up
• Don’t reach in at the last second
• Paddle face down to get under the ball for spin
• Snap through with the wrist: more swing speed, more spin, and the ball stays in
